Al, before I suspect a starter, I FIRST suspect the battery,,,,, ,,or bad or carboned up battery or starter or ground cables or connections,,,,, ,,,then starter switches or solenoids,,,,, ,,,,, then big enough battery n starter n ground cables (I prefer 00 Gauge on 6 volt),,,,, ,,,,,then a poor ground like to a rusty or sheet metal battery box or seat etc. Its best to ground on a good clean main bolt close to the starter as possible versus rusty sheet metal. I suggest you remove, clean n wire brush, n reattach each n every battery n starter n ground cable and have the battery load tested or try a known good substitute to see if that helps. If when cranking the battery voltage dont drop much and/or the lights dont dim badly, I suspect more a bad solenoid or starter switch or bad connection or ground, while if she cranks slow and the lights dim wayyyyy yyy down, then I suspect the starter more like a dragging armature or worn brushes etc. John T, retired electrical engineer in Indiana
